Fires ripping through the Los Angeles area have killed at least 24 people, displaced thousands of others and destroyed more than 12,000 structures while burning through an area larger than the size of San Francisco. The blazes started Tuesday, powered by gusts from the Santa Ana winds. Forecasters expect winds to kick back up this week. Officials say at least 16 people were missing as of Sunday and that number is expected to rise.
